We have established a workstation in the University of Hawaii Fabrication Laboratory in Holmes Hall. We met with Trent, the graduate student laboratory supervisor, to discuss the scope of a 396 project and to solidify the direction for this project. 

For the light array portion of this project, we will start by developing more intricate light patterns. Trent is experienced in this type of project and offered some ideas on how to begin approaching a design for sound reactivity in lighting. The first focus we will start with is to write code for generating different patterns of reactive output.

We were also introduced to Fritzing, a modeling program which outputs files compatible with the PCB milling machine in the fabrication laboratory. We will be able to create our own custom boards for the circuits that we design, eliminating the need for breadboards from our final design.
